Peterbilt Motors Company announced the opening of a new parts and service location in Gadsden, Alabama by Fitzgerald Peterbilt.
The location features 10 service bays, 600 square feet of retail space, and 1,750 square feet of parts storage.
“I grew up in a similar rural community to Gadsden and if you wanted to go to an OEM dealership you had to travel several hours to Nashville or Knoxville," said Tommy Fitzgerald, Jr., dealer principal Fitzgerald Peterbilt. "We have a lot of customers in this region of Alabama and we are proud to be able to serve them closer to home and look to utilize this opportunity to become stronger partners with them."
The company was founded in 2016 with two dealerships and it has grown over the last five years to a total of six locations, with four in Alabama and two in Virginia.
“We’d like to congratulate Tommy Fitzgerald, Jr and his team at Fitzgerald Peterbilt on the opening of their newest store. Fitzgerald Peterbilt of Gadsden is a great addition to the growing Peterbilt Dealer Network,” said Peyton Harrell, Peterbilt director of Dealer Network Development.
